Calm is often mistaken for hesitation, especially in high pressure, high growth environments where urgency is rewarded and speed is treated as performance.
In this solo episode, Colleen examines why that framing is wrong.
Drawing from real operating experience, she explains how urgency culture quietly erodes trust, decision quality, and long term momentum, and why calm leadership is not the absence of pressure but the discipline that allows pressure to be useful.
This is not a case study or a how to.
It is a reframing of what serious leadership looks like now.
In this episode:
Why urgency is often confused with effectiveness
How speed without clarity creates noise, not momentum
What breaks when everything is treated as critical
Why calm is becoming the leadership standard, not an alternative style
Calm is not slow.
It is how leaders handle complexity at scale.
